The Hauzendorf Castle is located in the Hauzendorf district of the Bernhardswald community in the Regensburg district of Bavaria (Schlossgut 1). The current castle is the successor of a highly medieval small castle .

history

A Ruedger von Hautzndorf is named between 1146 and 1160 in the traditions of the St. Paul Monastery as a buyer of a Haeselinesgruebe (= Höslgrub) property . Dietrich Hauzendorfer and Adelhart von Hauzendorf are said to have participated in the knight tournament in Cologne in 1197 . To such a tournament a knight had to bring around 100 sticks with 100 horses and make a corresponding effort, so the Hauzendorfer must have been very wealthy at the time. Another Rudeger von Hauzendorf and his son of the same name are mentioned between 1253 and 1268 in the traditions of the Reichenbach monastery . This younger Rudger de Haucendorf is mentioned in 1283 as the fief owner of the monastery, and in 1298 he is sealed as a judge in the ducal office of Wetterfeld near Roding . A Heinrich von Hautzendorf 1322 judges in Amberg 1336-1338 the office and has a ducal Viztums held for Upper Bavaria. A Konrad of the Hauzendorfer is a judge of Straubing in 1365 and 1366 , an Ott of the Hauzendorfer is 1366 the keeper of Haidau .

The Hauzendorfer are also in the service of the diocese of Regensburg . In 1327 a Heinrich von Hauzendorf appears as the owner of the care of Siegenstein Castle . In 1345 the Hochstift curator Dietrich Auer confirmed the castle hat on the fortress Schönberg ; A Chunrat Hauzendorfer can still be proven as the owner of Schönberg in 1362 . Heinrich Pfleger is also at the Donaustauf fortress . The power of this Haunzenberger is further demonstrated by the fact that he also owned the castles Hexenacker , Altmannstein and Eggmühl . In 1351 the three brothers Ott , Rudger and Hermann are named, to whom the Bishop of Regensburg Friedrich von Zollern grants a vineyard in Demling (in today's municipality of Bach on the Danube ). Due to the large holdings, the expansion of Hauzendorf Castle was abandoned in the 14th century in favor of building the more comfortable Hauzenstein Castle . In 1380 an Otto Hauzendorfer called himself zu Hauzenstein .

The name of Hauzendorf is used in the early 15th century by Niklas Paulsdorfer and Hans Aegyd von Leublfing , perhaps relatives of the Hauzendorfer. However, in 1442 a Caspar der Hauzendorfer zu Hauzendorf appears again here . Duke Heinrich the Rich pledged the Veste Egk near Bernried to him .

In the second half of the 15th century, the Wallrab Hauzendorf took over. Of these, Wolf Lorenz von Wallrab (his parents were Melchior Wallrab and Ursula von Tonndorf , buried in Pettenreuth ) achieved fame as Land Marshal of the Principality of Pfalz-Neuburg . Hans Wallrab von Hauzendorf , married to Magdalena Castner , was also Hofmarksherr von Wolfersdorf and a Georg Wallrab zu Hauzendorf, Grupberg and Grub in the young Palatinate was married to Regina von Präckendorf auf Hackenberg . After the Hauzendorfer line of Wallrab died out, there was a frequent change of ownership on Hauzendorf. I.a. were Franz Siegmund Reisner von Liechtenstern , Georg Adam von Sickenhausen (whose descendants had the Pettenreuth church restored in 1719) and the family of those from Asch zu Asch were court lords here.

The Hauzendorf Castle burned down in 1772 with the barn and stables. In the early pictures, a tower could be seen next to a large residential building, which was probably part of the fortification. In 1784 reconstruction began with a beer brewery and tavern by the Schmidt family. In the following decades, the owners changed several times. On Friedrich von reputation followed Joseph Freiherr von Pellkoven , Baron Baron von Schwerin , from the pen to the Old Chapel in Regensburg and Xaver Wittmann , a merchant from Neunburg vorm Wald . In 1853, Count Max von Drechsel from Karlstein acquired the castle estate, after which there were other owners. The consequence of these frequent takeovers was that much of the former property was lost. Own hunting was lost, which was only possible again in 1904 when Wilhelm Barthel bought the “Niederhof”.

In 1818 the community of Hauzendorf was formed in the Regenstauf regional court . In 1840 there was a second class patrimonial court in Hauzendorf , which was administered by the Regenstauf regional court rather than a court lord .

In 1917 the Mehler family from Tirschenreuth took over the castle, which was managed by Felix Mehler († 1981) from 1926. In 1923 the hunter Wilhelm Bartl set up a so-called agricultural distillery here. In 1950 renovation work began (including new construction of the bell tower, roofing of the inner courtyard, construction of today's farm shop). Mehler's son-in-law Ludwig Kreuzer has been managing the farm and the distillery since 1956, and together with his son Detlef Kreuzer, he and his son Detlef Kreuzer managed to renovate the property from 1975 onwards. The current owners Detlef Kreuzer and Bettina Dostal run an organic farm on what is now called Schlossgut Hauzendorf .

description

Today's residential building is an almost square four-wing complex with modern roofing of the inner courtyard from 1950. The buildings are two-story and covered with hipped roofs. A chapel dedicated to the Three Kings on the ground floor is integrated in the center of the north wing, its semicircular Romanesque apse extends into the neighboring room to the east. The chapel was divided with a ceiling. In the past the church must have been free.

In the foundation area of ​​the north wing there are large cuboids (up to 1 × 0.6 m), which indicate the earlier castle. The wall with the archway dates from the 18th century. Also worth mentioning are the utility buildings (angular saddle roof buildings with stables and barns, post structures) from the 18th and 19th centuries and the former brewery. The latter is a two-storey, eaves-standing solid building with a gable roof and knee stick from the second half of the 19th century.
